First United Methodist Church Purpose: As believers in Christ as the Son of God, and the Bible as the inspired word of God, we:

Glorify God through worship,

Build strong relationships in the church family,

Grow in the knowledge of the truth as revealed through Jesus Christ,

Serve people as a reflection of the love of Jesus Christ, and

Spread the Good News of the Gospel so that others may come to salvation through grace.

Sermon Corner

This Week’s Message: Love Covers a Multitude of

Sins

It is so easy to point out the sins of others,

especially when what we are pointing out is not

our sin. We should workout our own salvation and pray that

others do the same.

Scripture: 1 Peter 4:1-11; Matthew 7:1-6

Next Week’s Message: Finding Your Treasure – Pastor Caprice

Hard Pressed? Perplexed? Persecuted? Struck Down? As we live this

Christian life, how do we find the ability to go through life with

faith, joy and peace? We must find our treasure. A treasure not

found in earthly things, but found deep inside of us… the all

surpassing power from God.

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:1-17

Together we are stronger. There is so much we can accomplish when we come together in Christ’s name. So, consider ways in which you would like to get connected with your church family and with our community. Watch this section for ways to get connected!

How about…can you…

Provide Special Music (sing, play an instrument) during offering one Sunday over the summer?

Can you bring a friend and a dish to share for Worship Together Sunday – July 29? Please check out the church website (www.fumcl.org) Worship Together link for details on how to sign-up!

Invite a family member, friend and/or neighbor to come to the Movie Night THIS FRIDAY, July 20 at 7pm?

Donate whole blood or platelets at the American Red Cross (there is a critical shortage of platelets).

Nobody can do everything,

but everyone can do something!

Interested? For more information on these and other possible ways to get connected at First Church, please see Debbi Schneider or email ( com@fumcl.org or deborahjschneider@yahoo.com).

Together, with Christ,

we can accomplish amazing things!
